Far Right fascists partnered with Russia to overthrow our Democracy using the social media platforms of the day. The only thing we have hope for is that they were too incompetent to fix the mid term elections. If they control the House next year, the coup has been completed and we will see things go down hill at break neck speed.

Facebook didn't take it seriously when it was brought to their attention that their platform was being used as part of a mind control experiment. It's too late now, but I suppose some changes are better than none.
